Hi Dalrock!
A late Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I have a question:

I was reading the book of Hosea today, in which God asks Hosea to “marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her”. Hosea obeyed, but his wife, Gomer, remained promiscuous and was unfaithful to her husband. However God asked Hosea not to abandon her and told him: “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress.”

Can’t you make the case that men are called to marry promiscuous women and love them and remain faithful to them no matter how the women chose to behave, (which doesn’t mean that a man cannot rebuke his wife like God rebukes Israel in the book of Hosea)?

Can’t you make the case that men are called to marry promiscuous women and love them and remain faithful to them no matter how the women chose to behave, (which doesn’t mean that a man cannot rebuke his wife like God rebukes Israel in the book of Hosea)?

Are you simple?

No seriously? That is a warning for Christian men on who not to marry, not a manual…

Please get in touch. I go to a church where the Christian values on this blog are embraced enthusiastically, and have been since time immemorial. (Non-Christian values need not apply: any cad who thinks fornication is just fine will promptly find himself exhorted to repent, and put out of fellowship if he does not.)

Do note that you may have to set aside some doctrines that evangelicals hold near and dear. For example, if the notion of women being expected to do something that men aren’t really required to do bothers you, or something being “unfair” to a woman (e.g. not letting a woman remarry after a divorce from a husband who allegedly committed adultery), then this type of church won’t be for you.

Thank you for expressing the lie first perpetrated to Eve in the garden by the serpent so succinctly. Why are women always attracted to pantheistic nonsense like “God is whatever is in you”?
